Parents Protest Radio ID Tags for Students

Posted by TimSlavin at February 20, 2005

"The only grade school in this rural town is requiring students to wear radio frequency identification badges that can track their every move. Some parents are outraged, fearing it will rob their children of privacy.

The badges introduced at Brittan Elementary School on January 18 rely on the same radio frequency and scanner technology that companies use to track livestock and product inventory."

From CNN. I asked my wife how she would feel if our kids had to wear these tags. She said it depends on whether or not there is some short term threat that would require it. Personally I would say no.
